Band: Stifled
From: Hudson Valley, New York
Their formation story:
(Ryan, vocals): "Cooper (drummer) was tattooing Brian (guitar) and was looking to start something. They jammed a few times and I reached out seeing if they needed a vocalist. We met Ben (bass) at a show, and he was going hard for every band. We had one practice together and we recorded the demo."
Their sound in their own words:
"Our sound is a little mixture of everything. We're big fans of King Nine, Terror, Mindforce, Backtrack, and Death Threat, to name a few."
Latest release info:
"It’s our first release and we recorded everything in Brian’s living room. He did a great job and mixed/mastered everything at home."
Future plans:
"We have things moving. Got some tapes coming out soon and playing shows all over the Hudson Valley, New York: December 1st (Middletown), December 2nd (Kingston), December 9th (2nd Nature Skate Park), and whereever else we can play."
What other bands from the region should we check out?
"The Hudson Valley is pumping out so many great bands right now and we are really stoked to be out here repping for the HV: Grave Heist, Servant of Sorrow, Abuse Ritual, Big Shot, Gone Mad, and Unfortuneteller and can’t forget the Brown Table guys and Heavy HV doing work and putting on shows."
